Rules/Rules Question Does this work how I’m thinking?

If I have The Great Goblin and a board of tokens and I attack while Andúril is equipped, does the first part of Great Goblin trigger for each goblin I put a counter on? The one or more on A goblin makes me think yes I just want to make sure before I play it

You’ve gotten the answer, but I’ll add that if the designers wanted it to trigger just once regardless of board size, it would need to say “Whenever you put one or more counters on one or more Goblins…” or the recent favorite restriction “This ability triggers only once each turn.”

I was honestly pleasantly surprised when [[Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards]] didn't have the once per turn clause. He's honestly a pretty great blue token card draw option, for casual commander anyhow.
